Edit: No one cares about Maliken crying and want the DotA 2 good stuff:

Well, I was informed of this story via PM on the HoN forums. Luckily my private message box wasn’t chock-full of messages from slob nergins and could receive it. That said, someone put on their investigator goggles on (fat nerd I bet you read that as googles), and found out the beta has been going on since November of last year.

Nevermore just got added into Dota 2 and some other stuff like bug reports have been added. Looks like the wagon is moving up the Oregon trail quite nicely. Only Uncle Jim has gotten dysentery and died so far.
